Well mine are really filthy at the minute due to being in and out the garage so much, soooo I need some good shampoo for the seats as they have small oil patches in places. :( I don't want to be taking the seats out though.
Any suggestions?
Cheers David :)

i want to clean mine
was thinking about hireing a wet vac but cba with that idea
mite just get the wife to do it lol (she good at that sort of stuff)
autoglym stuff brought up my GSi stuff fairly well but doesn't seem to work so well on my cobra buckets, think it's because the material is more 'pitted'

My seats are a cream colour so it's going to be a nightmare. My old gsi seats always came up well until I got them jet washed, the amount of dirt that came out was mental. :eek:

I don't have a pressure washer and it would be a right barsteward taking them out at a jet wash lol
Man paste oh that reminds me what's good for cleaning roof lining lol

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to NOVABIKECARBED again. lol
Buy a pressure washer, £30, iirc cheaper than renting a vax lol

Well I've found this wet and dry cleaner. CLICKY (http://www.hss.com/g/58201/Industrial-Wet-and-Dry-Vacuum.html)
Cheaper than a valet as well.
I don't want to be taking the seats out though.
I ain't that lazy
I wish to log a dispute lol
Its two bolts per seat, simples.
What can you use to clean a headlining though? Mine's pretty skadgy and I want to clean it up a bit

for the headling i use that orange kitchen cleaner spray
and NBC if you lived closer id go halfs with you on the hiring of the wet vac
I used me when i needed some seats cleaning, being a valeter is ace, i bought some blue grey SR front seats from colin smith and they had epic mould growing from them but the bolsters were perfect, took them to work, soaked them in MTS supplied interior cleaner (or the equivalent of G101 for those who use autosmart) and let it soak in for ten mins and steamed it off with the power washer on 70-1oo degrees C.
Took them into the valet bay and wetvacced the water out of them and stood them in the sun to dry/air out, they needed standing somewhere warm for a few days to make sure they were fully dry and aired out otherwise they leave a damp pungent musty smell in your car, and aftrewards they were like brand new, all oil stains and mould 100% gone, interior cleaner shifts anything:thumb:
